Meet Chato
Chato is about 8 years old and weighs 45 pounds. Looking at his ears we think he has some heeler in his family tree but we haven't DNA tested him to know the rest. One of our volunteers took him on a field trip recently and had this to tell us:`We learned a lot about Chato today. He knows how to sit!!! He knows how to give hugs! And he’s ball obsessed! He picked out his ball at PetSmart in a blink of an eye. He accepted pets from lots of people, so hopefully he’ll be in a forever home soon. What a great dog.`Chato's adoption fee is $100. He is neutered and microchipped and has age-appropriate vaccinations. A licensing fee may apply.
